A Moment of Holding
You do not have to fix this to be safe.
If you are in the middle of a storm right now, stop for just one breath.
There is a truth that can hold you when you cannot hold yourself:
Acknowledge the Storm
The despair is real. It is cold, it is heavy, and it is here. Do not fight it. Let it be exactly as it is without trying to change it.
Find the Sky
Beneath the noise of your thoughts, there is a silent, awake space. This is PURE MIND. It is the part of you that is aware of the pain. Notice that the awareness itself is not in pain. It is vast, still, and calm.
Let Go into the Holding
You are not the storm; you are the sky. You are not the despair; you are the vastness that contains it.
The Practice
“There is despair… and there is the Space that holds it. I am that Space.”
Let the “Goodness” of that silent space breathe for you. You are not alone.
